Yellow Tang
Hippo tang
maybe a copperband butterfly
maybe clown fish or 2

In general, tangs don't do well in fish only tanks, because they tend to get lateral line disease, and are more susceptible to parasites in fish only tanks.

should I do A Fowlr?

You should consider a much larger tank for the tangs.

I'd aviod the tangs and butterfly. The clowns would be fine. Start looking at fish that don't grow much over 5" and aren't very active i.e. fast swimmers. Pygmy angels, hawkfishes, blennies, dottybacks would be better choices.

i already nixed the butterfly, and clowns, and the hippo

If you're waiting for someone to give you a thumbs up, I'm afraid you are going to be disappointed. No way should you keep those two tangs in a 46g tank.

I am now pondering on this: Yellow tang
LN Hawkfish
Flame angel
coral beauty angel

r u a Fuc*in retard? No tangs in your tank. All that replied to your post told you tangs are not good in tanks that small, doesn't matter if it's 2 or just one. Which part of "no tang" do you not understand?

And, make sure your tank is fully cycled before introducing any fish.

hey djm tangs need to have room to swim
it is your money and you can do whatever you like
but you will stress the fish and though some of us may come off as a little rude we just want whats best for the fish
maybe try this book for a quick refrence book
MARINE FISHES by Scott W. Micheal it tells you things like favorite foods and tank requirements any way good luck no matter what you deciede

Ok! The guys are going to an extreme, IMO. You could get away with one small tang in a 46 gallon tank. Just be sure to feed it a diet heavy in vegetable matter -- spirulina flakes and nori. The trick is to get a young healthy specimen, and one that has been quarantined for at least two weeks and is eating spirulina flake food. BUT, do not even consider adding another tang, even if you are successful with one. It is true that I have 7 tangs in one tank, but it is 10 feet long and all of the tangs, but one, went in at the same time, and all where well established to captivity before.
